Christine K., who reviewed it on July 13, wrote, "Such a great experience! Food and atmosphere were amazing. ...

Everything was delicious and the portions were huge."

Yelper Faran I. noted, "The decor was nice and the food was just as good. Parking was easy and there was more space inside, which were a couple of issues with the Montrose location."
